Why? People bump it when the World goes down, which does happen every once in a while.

Been working with the hosting company on a more permanent "fix".
We do have a firewall for the server but the way that is setup, it still generates a lot of load on the server during an attack and we're looking at other options to reduce the impact. Basically, the attack has left the server drained of resources and it can't respond to any legit traffic. I don't think much will happen over the weekend though, the guys at the colo are short on staff and it is the weekend after new years. Hopefully, we'll be back by Monday ...

Certain service providers offer ddos obsorbtion as a service.
They see it, re-route it to a bigger server, and filter out the attacker. It takes bandwidth and a bigger server to deal with them. Basically, they absorb the hits and dump it. Rich |

I haven't been on World for a few years. Rusty or some other admin has a personal thing with me. The last email I got he called me a "pathetic **** bird".
 . Very colorful.

Elleeeeuttt!!
Hope all is well. 914world is still very anal about politics and religion. I still see people getting timeouts... I bite my tongue and stay out of those conversations.
